THREEBROTHERS (7) last appeared five weeks ago over 6f at Santa Anita when he finished seventh. This is his first run for the J P Silva stable. Plenty to like about his prospects. BENDETTIJOE (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Louisiana Downs (Turf) after he was in the firing line on the bend. Has further improvement to come and looks a clear threat. PICAHOUSE (1) turned things around last start and scored by half a length after being in contention on the turn over 1m at Fresno (Dirt). No reason he cannot salute again. HICKORY WIND (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 6½f at Grants Pass. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again.
